Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Carson Wentz

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is active and will operate as the team's backup for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. Meanwhile, Jameis Winston is inactive as the team's emergency third quarterback. This depth chart decision from the coaching staff aligns with recent rumors that indicated Dart may have earned the backup job and could even make his NFL debut in Week 1. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport recently noted that the Giants have a package of plays ready for Dart, so it's possible that he could relieve starter Russell Wilson for a handful of snaps on Sunday afternoon. Still, Dart is merely a dynasty stash at this point, as he'd need to be inserted as the full-time starter before warranting any interest in redraft leagues. Meanwhile, Winston should be left on waivers in all leagues.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz has been named the starter for the Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. This marks the fourth straight start for Wentz while J.J. McCarthy (ankle) recovers. According to Ian Rapoport, Wentz could be under center for Week 8 as well. It doesn't sound like the Vikings are fully committed to McCarthy once he's healthy. Wentz has been a viable option with 759 passing yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions in place of McCarthy. It'll be interesting to see how he does in a revenge game against the Eagles in Week 7. He should be able to offer streaming appeal against the Eagles shaky secondary.
